Actually, the NEWS of Mumbai has been covered by the MSM and blogs fairly well. There are plenty of issues/events covered or not covered by both sides to support their agendas. I think you’re confusing covering an event versus beating one to death if it supports your POV.
You could have made the same point about Rev Wright or Bill Ayers.
The unhinged right (is there any other?) kept bloviating about Rev Wright or Bill Ayers long after they were old news and the rest of the blogs/MSM moved on to other issues.
I doubt the right wing blogs and Fox will cover the upcoming Torture Tribunals or abuses of power investigations the same as the left wing blogs or MSM either.
Mumbai is a big issue, but not the only one.

Despite the traditional media’s anglo-centric portrayal of this attack, a very small percentage of those targeted and killed were westerners, who were apparently being targeted to specifically attract western media coverage. How many Americans died when these guys started walking through the streets of Mumbai shooting at random? None. The western media played right into these guys’ hands.

Somedays you guys are going to wake up and realize that America is no longer the center of the known universe.

I find all of this quite amusing. Obama has given some comfort to those of us on the right who feared he wasn’t up to the job on national security matters and instilled fear in those on the left who thought he would end all wars and terrorism with good speeches alone. So far so good, President-Elect.

One characteristic of the Democrats is that they tend to eat their own if they aren’t happy. Right now they are only quietly seething, but that won’t last if Obama turns out to be more hawkish than they want . It will be interesting to see how the next 4 years go.

Yay – terrorism resurrects the Zombies of the American right wing, and just in time! Long live jihad!

Soooo…that’s what lefty blogs are following?
The number of vehicle accidents/injuries/fatalities?
Hunh…little wonder I never read them, there are already a number of official agencies that cover that.
As for Mumbai, the left doesn’t want to talk about that, it would mean that the GWOT is valid. Just like the left doesn’t want the images of the Twin Towers shown, or of those victims leaping to their deaths. It brings forth emotions that detract from their childish view, that we can all get along, if we just talk.

Did you ever wonder what the “readability” of your blog is? Or what level of education is required to be able to understand your writing?

Editor – does that mean you’re at a loss for an answer?

Memorandum is super, never checked it out before today- thanks. Good insight on your part on what gets left out of blogging. Gotta admit also, never thought about the stats on car accidents-loved your comment back:)
